Sujeewa received Rs. 3m from Aloysius’ Mendis Co.

In a shocking revelation, it was revealed that State Minister Sujeewa Senasinghe had received three cheques of Rs. 1 million each in 2015 and 2016 from W. M. Mendis & Company Ltd., a subsidiary of Perpetual Treasuries Ltd.

This was disclosed in the B report filed in Court yesterday by the prosecution in connection with the inquiry into the Central Bank bond scam. 

The report stated that a former sub-inspector, who was a member of the State Minister’s security detail, had cashed one of the three cheques received in 2015 at a bank in Slave Island.

The other two cheques received in 2015 and 2016 were cashed by two other police officers attached to the State Minister’s security detail.
